Sean Mooney 1,184 Posted June 21, 2022 6 hours ago, Voltaire said: Let the markets speak for themselves. When Disney looks at Lightyear, then compares it to Top Gun, there are lessons to be learned. There are lessons- but they are not all necessarily what some here want them to be. First and foremost- it might not be a great idea to put out a 5th film in a franchise that people were already were saying didn't need a 4th film. There were plenty of stories written at the time the movie was announced up through the release that were basically questioning why an animated story about toys needed a prequel that was not animated in the same way. The film had a real lack of buzz too (no pun intended). 6 hours ago, Hardcore troubadour said: Just to clarify , I never said they lost 3 million since the fight with Desantis.

They like to get bogged down in the weeds. The bottom line stands. Disneys commitment to their agenda is not serving them well. They have other reasons to stick with it besides being do gooders. Their access to capital via an enhanced ESG score also plays a role. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing as Disney is involved with many authoritarian governments that also practice human rights violations, they really can’t make much headway on that front.
